Deceit, resentment, and revenge cast a long shadow over this Chicago diner. Sex trafficking and the misconceptions that come along with it sit heavy on the shoulders of many—including one young lady, Gigi Garcia.

Desperate to break free from life on the streets, she’s welcomed into the loving arms of Mrs. Ruby and her dynamic group of diner employees. Each with their own share of misfortune, and triumphs, they come together to help lift Gigi up and provide her with a strong foundation. But when Gigi's past tries to drag her back down, her strength and loyalty to herself and her newfound diner family are tested. Sometimes, it's hard to move forward when the monkey is riding your back.
